Picture of the Day - 2















A point from Ben Smith at Politico.

"The backdrop for McCain's speech today on Iraq and Afghanistan suggests that -- contrary to the talk of a clear new message plan -- they scrapped a jobs speech at the last minute....."

  • And the context is that McCain's agenda is being driven by "responding to Obama."

    That can't be good.

    It's not like McCain has anything new to say. "Surge is working. Winning in Iraq, but can't leave. Will just pull magic troops from my ass whenever we need them. Fear, fear. Kill, kill. Fuckin' Obama... Americans will be slaughtered in shopping malls if he becomes president."

  • My guess is that with the recent Afghanistan news, they didn't feel they could let him talk without opposition. That's why they brought out that soundbyte line, "I know how to win wars" and appropriated Obama's surge into Afghanistan.
